Red Wine Shish Kabobs Food

BEEF SHISH KEBAB RECIPE

Steps:

• Prepare up to 20 skewers. If using bamboo or wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least one hour before use.
• Mix the spices: In a bowl, mix together the spices to make a spice rub for the cubed meat.
• Season the meat cubes with the spices and combine well so that the meat is evenly covered.
• Prepare the marinade and add the seasoned meat cubes. In a large and deep dish, combine the marinade ingredients of red onions, lemon juice, olive oil and red wine. Add the seasoned meat to the marinade, and work the meat into the marinade well with your hands. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (preferably 2 to 4 hours or overnight depending on the kind of meat you are using).
• Remove the meat from the fridge one hour before grilling.
• Lightly oil the grates of a gas grill and heat for 10 minutes on high.
• Thread the meat and vegetables on skewers. Thread the meat, onions, green peppers and red peppers onto the prepared skewers, alternating until you run out of meat (about 4 pieces of meat per skewer with the vegetables nestled in between as you see in the photos). Season with more freshly ground black pepper. (Do not discard the marinade yet)
• Grill. Place the shish kabobs on the grill. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, depending on how hot your grill is and how well-cooked you like your meat, turning occasionally. While the kabobs are grilling, paint the meat with some of the marinade a couple of times as you turn the skewers around.
• Rest before serving. Remove from the heat and transfer to a serving platter. Allow 5 minutes for the kabobs to rest before serving. Enjoy!

MOM'S BEEF SHISH KABOBS

Steps:

• Whisk the vegetable oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, black pepper, and salt together in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the beef, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator 8 hours or overnight.
• Add the mushrooms to the bag, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and reseal the bag; marinate in the refrigerator another 8 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove the beef and mushrooms from the marinade, shaking off any excess liquid. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 10 minutes; set aside for basting.
• Thread pieces of green bell pepper, beef, red bell pepper, mushroom, and onion onto metal skewers, repeating until all ingredients are skewered.
• Cook the skewers on the preheated grill, turning frequently and brushing generously with the reserved marinade until nicely browned on all sides and the meat is no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes.

BEEF SHISH KABOBS ON THE GRILL

Steps:

• If you are using bamboo skewers, start by submerging them in water using a dish or a paper towel to hold them underwater. Let them soak for 30 minutes. We use double skewers as it makes it easier to turn without having the ingredients spin on the skewer. You can use two bamboo skewers or buy some double prong skewers.
• Make the marinade. In a stainless or glass bowl large enough to hold the meat, add the wine, salt, sugar, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix the marinade.
• Cube itCut the steak into 1 inch to 1 1/2 inch cubes. Add the cubes to the marinade bowl. Let it rest for 2 hours in the fridge. Then remove it from the refrigerator and let it come back to room temperature like we did in the filet mignon recipe. Let it sit at room temp for about 30 minutes.
• Cut the onion in half and then cut each half into quarters. Cut the green pepper open and clean out the seeds. Cut the pepper into 1 inch squares (or close to square as you can). You can leave the mushrooms whole, but for larger mushrooms, we recommend you cut them in half. Optionally you can marinade the veggies in Italian dressing.
• Skewer ewe Well, skewer beef in this case. Lamb kabobs are a different recipe. We like to alternate between onions and peppers, as they add great flavor to the meat while cooking. We also throw the mushrooms in every now and then. The onion, peppers and meat play well with the mushrooms. It's nice to see the meat and vegetables getting along so well.
• After assembling the kabobs, brush some oil on the skewered meat and veggies at this point, to keep them from sticking.
• Prep the grillIf using gas, heat the grill on high for 10 minutes prior to cooking. If cooking on coals, it is best to use natural hardwood charcoal. Add enough coals to cook over a high heat for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Grill 'emPlace the kabobs on the hot grill directly over the flame or coals. Keep the lid open since we are cooking on direct heat. Grill for 10 to 12 minutes, rotating 90 degrees every 4 minutes, until the meat is cooked to desired level of doneness. Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 3 or 4 minutes before serving.
• Meat on a stick!

SPICY BEEF KEBABS

Steps:

• Cut the beef into 1 1/2 to 1 3/4-inch cubes and place into a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a food processor combine the garlic, paprika, turmeric, cumin, salt, pepper and red wine vinegar. With the processor running drizzle in the olive oil.
• Pour the marinade over the meat and toss to coat. Place in the refrigerator in an airtight container or a sealable plastic bag and allow to marinate for 2 to 4 hours.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the meat onto the skewers leaving about 1/2-inch in between the pieces of meat. Place on the grill and cook, with lid lowered, 2 to 3 minutes per side, 8 to 12 minutes in all (8 minutes for rare and 12 for medium). Remove from the heat to aluminum foil, wrap and allow to rest for 2 to 3 minutes prior to serving.

BEEF SHISH KABOBS

Steps:

• Cut onion in half. Grate half of the onion and combine in a measuring cup with oil, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, mustard, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper.
• Cut the other half of the onion into 1 ½-inch squares. Set aside.
• Place the beef cubes in a large zip-top plastic bag. Pour ½ of the marinade into the bag, seal, and refrigerate. Marinate beef for at least one hour, or up to overnight.
• Set aside the remaining marinade to use for basting later.
• When ready to prepare the kabobs, remove beef cubes from the marinade. Discard marinade in the bag.
• Thread beef and vegetables onto separate skewers (if using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water first).
• Brush vegetable skewers with reserved marinade.
• Broil kabobs 3 inches from heat for 8 minutes. Turn and broil an additional 8 - 10 minutes, or until done. Keep an eye on the vegetables - the tomatoes tend to cook a bit faster, while the peppers and onions may need an extra minute of cooking time. Just remove each skewer from the broiler (or grill) when cooked to desired tenderness.
• Alternatively, you can grill the shish kabobs for about 20 minutes, turning regularly.

STEAK SHISH KABOBS IN RED WINE MARINADE

Steps:

• Mix marinade ingredients together and pour into a large bag that seals or a flat container.
• Add beef to bag and marinate for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.
• Remove beef from marinade, discarding excess marinade.
• Assemble shish kabobs by alternating meat cubes and vegetables on a skewer. 3 pieces of meat fit nicely on a 12 inch skewer.
• Grill over medium heat for about 3 minutes on each side. Use an oven mitt to turn the skewers.

RED WINE SHISH KABOBS

Steps:

• Place meat, mushrooms, and pineapple in a large container with lid.
• Whisk together remaining ingredients and pour over top. Stir gently to coat.
• Marinate for 2 hours at room temperature or overnight. (I do latter).
• Skewer meat, mushrooms, and pineapple.
• Grill over medium high heat, turning on each side, until done.
• I skewer stuff separately. Meat seems to take longer than the mushrooms which take longer than the pineapple. Not quite as pretty but easier to cook.

RED WINE MARINATED GRILLED STEAK SKEWERS

Steps:

• Cut the steak into 1.5-inch thick cubes. (TIP: try to make them the same size for even cooking.) Place the meat in a large bowl, or ziplock bag.
• In a 2-cup measuring cup, combine red wine, soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice and garlic.
• Pour the marinade over the meat and mix well. Marinade for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours in the fridge. Bring it to room temperature before cooking, about 1 hour on the counter.
• When ready to cook, preheat the gas grill on high for at least 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, thread the steak cubes onto the skewers.
• When the grill is thoroughly heated, grill the skewers for about 2 minutes on each side over medium high heat, or until desired doneness is reached, about 8 minutes total for medium.
• Remove the skewers onto a plate, cover with foil and rest for 5 minutes before serving.

RED WINE AND ORANGE MARINATED BEEF SKEWERS

Steps:

• Combine the red wine and steak sauce in a large bowl. Stir in the orange slices, green onions, chile peppers, garlic, and ginger. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Place steak strips in a shallow dish and pour marinade over meat. Cover, and refrigerate 8 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate. Set grate 4 inches from heat. Soak wooden or bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning.
• Remove steak from marinade, and discard; thread meat onto skewers. Arrange skewers on prepared grill, and cook until meat is no longer pink and juices run clear, 7 to 10 minutes.

• Add the chicken, peppers, mushrooms and onion to the bag; squeeze out as much air as possible and seal. Massage the bag contents to coat the meat and vegetables with the marinade. Refrigerate overnight.
• Remove the marinated ingredients and discard the marinade. Tip: the bag can be poured out into a colander allow excess marinade to drain from ingredients into the sink.
• Thread 10-12 skewers with the chicken and vegetables, alternating on the skewers and leaving about 3 inches at the blunt end. Allow a bit of space between ingredients (refer to photos for an example).
• Heat the grill to medium heat (around 350 degrees).
• Place skewers on the grill with a strip of foil underneath the end of the skewer if bamboo. Close the lid and allow kabobs to cook 10-15 minutes, rotating them on each side during the cooking (2-3 minutes a side).
• Check to ensure the chicken has no pink color in the middle before removing all the skewers from these grill. Allow to sit 5 minutes before serving.

THE BEST SHISH KEBABS

Steps:

• Soak the skewers in water for at least 15 minutes and up to overnight. Pat them dry and spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
• Whisk the vinegar, scallions, Dijon, garlic, sugar, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl or large liquid measuring cup. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until emulsified.
• Put the beef pieces, bell peppers, onions and zucchini in a large resealable plastic bag. Reserve 1/4 cup marinade and pour the rest into the bag and seal. Toss the bag so the meat and vegetables are well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours and up to overnight.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
• Thread the meat and vegetables onto a skewer in the following order: beef, zucchini, red pepper, yellow pepper and onion. Repeat the threading three more times, ending with a piece of beef (there should be 5 pieces of beef and 4 pieces of each vegetable on the skewer). Repeat with the remaining skewers and ingredients.
• Sprinkle the kebabs with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Grill at an angle, uncovered, until deep char marks form and the vegetables start to soften, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip the skewers and continue cooking until the beef has reached an internal temperature of 125 degrees F when measured with an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes.
• Remove from the grill and brush the kebabs with the reserved 1/4 cup marinade. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
